Started reading my five-year-old The Hobbit this week, and man he loves it.
I love it too..having an excuse to read it again

We're doing a chapter a night-just finished Overhill and Underhill yesterday.

So far his favorite chapter is Roast Mutten--mostly because the Trolls kept calling eachother "Bobby". But when Gandaf started tricking them into arguing, he got all excited, and figured it out for himself--"I think it's the wizard doing all that!!"

Anyone else read Tolkin to their kids?

Not yet, but the hobbit was read to me exactly like that, (By the time I was 10, I'd read LoTR myself, and struggled valiantly through the Silmarillion), and you can bet I'll be reading it to my own kids that way when I get around to having some.

Good stuff man. Instill a love of reading in them now, and they'll love books for life.
